If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

I'm interested to know which dual line kite would be considered the absolute best for precision flying. Let's name your TOP THREE, in order, and one has to be currently available, but the other 2 can be out of production (or currently available). These kites can have excellent or zero tricking ability. Also, they can be very cheap or very expensive, it does not matter. I'm interested to hear your top three precision dual lines of all time. I'd get it started myself, but my experience is too limited to be meaningful.

All these reply's are awesome, and please continue, but can someone elaborate one why there is a difference between competition and "regular" precision?

The difference between flying a set of predefined figures that are difficult to fly at the best of times but you have to do them in whatever the wind brings from a gale to a gnats breath, and just flying geometric shapes just for fun ?

e.g. IMO the BMK Mamba is great for flying precision for *fun* but too fast, lacks easy speed control for flying figures in competition (no insult to Mambas intended, I picked a kite I really like )

Any reasonably precise kite will let you fly a geometric figure but for competition you want something that is:- slow when the wind picks up without dying when the wind drops- solid feeling on then end of the lines, a steady pull- very wide window- can be stalled on demand but doesn't stall when you don't need it e.g. when cutting a sharp corner

I flew Sandpiper 95s for the couple of seasons I flew in local winter leagues; great for all the reasons above and made precision very accessible but by contrast to the Mamba mentioned above, not a lot of fun to fly 'recreationally'
